Robert Fritsch will kickoff the events with Sherlockian Fun and Shenanigans: Introducing the Literary Agent, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. This should provide everyone with a good base of Doyle's work and the characters of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson. Who knows, you may even learn something new. He will be presenting on the Major Players and the Grand Game (Doyle Watson Holmes). He will then talk about books, movies and television adaptations, pastiches and parodies as well as radio influences, societies  and merchandise.
